So far China is batting a thousand this week. Earlier in the week they banned hidden car door handles for safety. Now they're banning investment in a neo fascist society.

If only they didn’t violently abuse and oppress gay and trans people. 😞

They also executed some billionaires and pedophiles too. Nature is healing…

They can't invest in the USA either?

What do you mean they can't invest in the USA? China I believe is one of the biggest debt holders of the United States. They have considered selling off some of that debt to further weaken the dollar, which I wouldn't blame them considering everyone is at this point.
